According to one of the suspects, Bello Olawale who is the project manager of the Company said “I am the project manager of the company and I was approached by a colleague whose name is Gbenga Williams to sell some iron rods to some people outside without the companys notice, so I introduced buyers to him. This is the second time we are transacting this business and we were caught eventually.”
He further said he does not understand why Gbenga Williams was not apprehended because he was the mastermind of the transactions, but on closer investigation it was revealed that Gbenga was the one who hinted the police about the dubious plan Wale was planning.
